Men Atop Equine Creatures

We’re at the farm right now, my most favorite place in the whole world besides Starbucks. The pace here has been fast, the work plentiful, and the memories abundant. I’ll be sharing them in the coming days, but to tide you over, here are some shots of men on horses for you to enjoy. I don’t know about you, but it always gets me through the day.

Here’s my Exceedingly Pesky Brother-in-Law, Tim. Tim came to the farm alone this trip. Marlboro Man and I came with our four kids. Tim was outnumbered, to say the least. It was awesome.

Here’s our cowboy, Lynn. Isn’t Lynn a totally bitchin’ name for a cowboy? I’ll bet that’s exactly what his mama thought the day she named him.

Oh, and I’m sorry…Did someone say Marlboro Man? He’s such a stud upon his steed.

And here’s Marlboro Man’s cousin, T. T’s utterly delightful. And he always has gum in his pocket and he always gives me a piece. And I ain’t talkin’ no Trident Peppermint or Wrigley’s, either; it’s always some bizarre flavor explosion of a gum, like "Strawberry-Kiwi-Melon" or "Blueberry-Grape-Dragonfruit." Dang, he’s got the best gum.

Oh, and here’s Tim again.He looks rather studly, doesn’t he? Though last night he told me when I write my book, he wants to be two inches taller. I said an inch and a half, and that’s my final offer. Now go to bed and leave me alone.

I have one final photo to share.

I’ll warn you, though…it’s lethal.

You might want to sit down.

And grab a cold compress for your head.

Because this man on a horse is gonna rock your world.

He is NOT my favorite. Quit trying to suggest he is, because I’ll only deny it.

I take it the child is getting over his fear of horses you told us about earlier? It appears the horse is moving, albeit slowly. And is that a Rat Terrier at his horse’s heels?

I like the action shots of horses.

Just what I need on a rainy Boston morning. Men on horses! Mmm.

One more thing. Your son on the horse – beautiful!
So, Tim forgot to pack his cowboy hat, huh? 😉

Ladybird, I’m up. It’s early. And it’s dark. And cold. I’m in the process of coordinating underwear, jeans, shirts, socks, boots, chaps, jackets, and hats for four children under the age of ten.

Can someone bring me a Starbucks? Venti. Please?

G’morning, everyone!

I love that you post your blog at the crack of dawn. Because, it arrives on the dot, at the lunch bell, in France!

G’morning, P-Dub! That last picture of your NOT favorite punk? Oh, my gosh! I could almost cry; he just looks so…well, like such a BIG little punk! SO, SO incredibly cute, and the horse is so regal-looking! This while bunch of pictures? You did a particularly great job on these; the colors just pop! Look like postcards. And more and more, I think everyone should have a stud on a steed :)! Ah, I could go on and on. So, I’ll sign off by saying–they’re all good, but it WAS the last one that not only rocked my world, but also rocked my heart…

Dear Pioneer Woman, Perhaps one day, when Marlboro Man has a moment, he can sit down and write all of us “peeping toms” a little something. A little something about how wonderful it is to have you as a wife, because your life looks so lovely, but I am SURE that ALOT of things go into making it that way, and you deserve a few words~ How about for Mother’s Day, Marlboro Man?

Its cold and wet here in WI too. Ill be joining you for coffee please…vanilla latte. Loved your photos…and of course that little buckeroo is your favorite. He is the most studly on your post. His mama must be so proud.

Jane

I second Marjorie!

Your photos are gorgeous! I look forward to seeing them and reading your posts everyday. I just had my first Starbucks yesterday. Ummm, not bad. The whole ordering process stunned me. I need to go back and reread the menu.

Yay! He’s back in the saddle!!!! New horse? Where’s LB? MM has a new white horse too…do they live at the farm, so you don’t have to trailer any down there? Does anybody else live at the farm? Gah, so many questions! I’m getting my new horse tomorrow! Thank you for the horse pictures! (and the cowboys, they are ALLRIGHT!)

Awesome shots. Men on horses is a good thing.

Malena

Aww, a Mini-Marlboro Man.

Book? What book? Have I missed something?

The little punk has such good posture – it’s all the homeschool ballet lessons, right?

I always dreamed of being a cowgirl, well, at least, until the 3rd grade when I stopped watching Roy Rogers.

And I prayed for a white horse.
Everynight.

But, I didn’t know about the hours.
(Or the calfnuts)

Nope. Those early hours.
I think they would kill me.

I feel sorry for myself if I have to get up before 7:00.

Whimp.

God bless you, you strong and hearty Pioneer Woman!

You deserve all of those hunky cowboys on horses.

Especially the dreamy one on the white horse.

Love,
Miz Booshay

What setting do you use for the action pics? I just discovered a burst function on my camera and have been having a little fun.

I take the last male on a steed. He was the best.

Hey, your not-favorite sits a right nice horse! And I LOVE the way you can see every rippling muscle–horse, that is–in the last shot of Tim! Do the cowboys ever wear short sleeves in the summer? I’m just askin’! If we take up a collection would they? Sorry if that sounds just too Chippendales, but you guys have CUTE cowboys!

When you write your book and describe my character — as every book needs a slightly frump, blog-stalking BFF — please make me three inches taller as well, which in your Tijuana-style bartering world would make me 2 and 1/2 inches taller. And I’ll take that. Along with some of those men.
